Chapter 195: Chapter 195 – Black Heart

“That's why it's so troublesome to convince those who are aligned with good…”

Joshua knew that his eloquence would not be able to detain this stubborn female knight.

“Aligned with good?”

It was not Messai's first time hearing Joshua speaking terms she didn't understand.

But, she was already prepared to draw her sword.

Based on her mission, what she should be doing right now was not engaging in a conversation with Joshua. Instead, she should be drawing her sword to eliminate this Chaos Demon.

Right when Messai was planning to draw her sword, the mages from the Owl Penpal Society decided to unleash their magic attacks.

It seemed like the Owl Penpal Society's members had already discussed among themselves in the forum as to how to handle this incident before unleashing their magic attacks.

All the magic they unleashed did not possess any offensive nature. They were all magic used to seal off the target's movements.

Because of that, the entire tavern entered a state of slight chaos. This would be an excellent opportunity for Messai to attack… But, a staff with a very sharp tip appeared next to Messai's neck.

The tip only remained on Messai's neck for a couple seconds. The owner of the staff also arrived before Messai.

“If it wasn't for this mission, I would've wanted you to help me open a couple card packs.”

Ciri arrived before Messai. There was blood on the tip of her staff. Messai was unable to determine whose blood they were.

......

But, what this female mage did tonight was most definitely not only limited to 'becoming a Legendary Hearthstone Player.'

“Miss Messai, you now have two choice. You can sit down and enjoy a match of Hearthstone. Or, you can leave the tavern for the time being. At least with that, you will not receive the same experience as your companions,” warned Joshua.

Same experience?

Messai took a glance at the inquisitors. A portion of them were completely taken care of by the Owl Penpal Society.

Without a doubt, their operation had ended in a failure. The remaining inquisitors that were still hiding had already retreated…

Even though Messai wanted to sit down and enjoy a match of Hearthstone, she chose the latter due to her position.

Under Joshua's watch, she left the Hearthstone Tavern. This also served to announce that the demon-suppression mission had ended in a failure.

Messai pushed open the doors of the tavern and arrived on the street. She only walked a couple steps before smelling a reeking of blood.

Having been in the battlefield year-round for many years, Messai was extremely sensitive to that smell. It was the smell of death.

Messai immediately followed that smell to an alley not far from Norland. Messai immediately caught sight of several corpses lying on the ground of that small alley.

From the black robes worn by those corpses, Messai could tell that they were all inquisitors of this mission.

Among them was an inquisition leader called Tailbone. Judging from their bloodstains, their heads have been pierced through by a sharp blade. Their wounds were squeaky clean. There was no possibility of saving them from death.

Because of that, Messai immediately unsheathed her two-handed sword and cautiously entered the alley.

She knew that whoever it was that murdered these inquisitors was still here. Sure enough… a light soon appeared in the alley.

That light came from the Order System. The light formed a magic network interface that Messai was extremely familiar with.

“Cher…yl”

Messai saw her friend, the traitor of the Heresy Tribunal, standing in the alley. She was holding a dagger in one hand and moving her other hand on the magic network interface.

From the bloodstains that covered Cheryl's body, she was the one who killed all those inquisitors in the alley!

“Messai? It's been a while… Did you went to open new card packs too? Tell me what sort of card you managed to get.”

Cheryl seemed to not be aware of the fact that she had killed four or five people. After all, this was something that she was already accustomed to.

She walked toward Messai. There was an excited smile on her young face. If there weren't any blood on her face, she would still be the expert Hearthstone player Messai was familiar with.

“Stop!”

Messai's loud shout caused the traitor to stop her footsteps. Golden rune inscriptions had appeared on her two-handed sword.

This female knight was prepared for a battle.

“Calm yourself, Messai. I've only killed a couple inquisitors that deserved to die. I've not touched any of your templar subordinates. Speaking of it, a couple of them owe me several hundred gold coins.”

Cheryl did not wish to battle against Messai at this sort of time. The only reason why she was able to eliminate many of her former companions all alone, including even an inquisition leader, was all because of the 'mind pollution' originium crystal given to her by Joshua.

Before those inquisitors could react to it, they experienced the sudden thrill of 'music to the brain.'

Cheryl did not give them the time to cut their ears off. Taking the opportunity that the crazed mutterings started entering their heads, she took away their lives.

“You also owe me a couple hundred gold coins! You've clearly agreed that you'll buy me a card pack for every match I won! Adding up all those matches…”

Cheryl suddenly recalled something and began to count with her fingers.

“I must bring you back to the Holy Church.” Messai was not wavered.

Seeing how resolute this female knight was, Cheryl knew that it would be impossible for her to convince Messai on her own.

But, Cheryl didn't wish to fight Messai, especially not a fight to the death.

She opened the magic network interface again. There was a message from Joshua. The message informed Cheryl what she should do should she encounter the female knight mid-mission.

“You can waste your time fighting me. But Messai… in the time that we've spent talking, the other inquisitors that exited the tavern might've already chosen death.”

Sure enough, Cheryl's words startled Messai.

“There's a fellow even more dangerous than me monitoring those inquisitors…”

Messai started hesitating. But, she knew that a Chaos Demon wouldn't possibly only have a Succubus and a female mage as his subordinate.

What if that dangerous Sin Demon came to Norland?

In the end, the blood mist that began to quietly pervade the sky caused Messai to have no choice but to believe Cheryl. She sheathed her two-handed sword and started running toward the direction of the chapel.

“Wait! When are you going to pay me the card packs you owe me?!”

Before Cheryl killed those inquisitors, she had seen what Messai did in the tavern.

The Holy Church wouldn't possibly permit a templar that went against the inquisitors to stay in Norland.

Messai will be called back to the Holy City to receive punishment. Cheryl didn't know how serious the punishment would be. But, she didn't wish for Messai to return to the Holy City. She believed that it would be much better for Messai to disobey the orders of those old things like she did and stay in Norland.

Unfortunately, by the time Cheryl asked that question, Messai had run far into the crowd. It was practically impossible for her to hear Cheryl's question.
